SWEET COMMUNION
The bread and wine are set before us,
As we gather to worship the Lord Jesus,
This is no ritual without a meaning,
It is even more than merely remembering.
Jesus said “This do in remembrance of me.”
But there is clearly more He wants us to see.
For the one we behold is indeed the bread of life,
And the bread is feeding our souls with health and life.
Then we come to the wine knowing there is life in the blood,
For that blood washed away our sins in a cleansing flood,
And we come with thanksgiving and praise in our hearts,
In deep reverence and awe we come in one accord.
Thanking the One who is the true life giver,
The One who we will throughout eternity live with,
Who shed His blood on a cruel cross that we might be saved,
Through that same blood we are healed, saved and delivered.
For there is power in the blood, full resurrection power,
We must never forget the magnitude of that wonderful power,
Words are unable to express the depth of our gratitude,
For while we were dead in our sins Christ came and he died.
And he has given us a hope that is certain and sure,
That when we give our lives to the only one who is pure,
We have a glorious heritage as sons and daughters of the King,
So throughout eternity his praises we with the angels will sing.
And now as we take the bread and the wine let us rightly discern,
Just what we are doing and come humbly seeking new revelation,
Our Lord and Saviour left heaven’s glory, a sacrificial offering to be,
And the wonder of it all was that he done it all for such as you and me.
So we will continue to come together partaking of the bread and wine,
Until that day we with the saints from down through the ages dine,
When we the bride, meet with our dear bridegroom at our wedding feast,
And we look upon the glory of his countenance and fall at his feet.
Even so come Lord Jesus…………….
